ChatableApps announced the launch of “the world’s first universal hearing aid, using neuroscience-led artificial intelligence to enable those suffering from hearing loss to hear one-to-one conversations clearly, using an everyday smartphone and a standard pair of earbuds.”
Thinklabs Medical created the One, a digital stethoscope with good sound quality and more than 100 times the amplification of traditional stethoscopes that is well suited to clinicians with hearing loss.
Supervisors and workers can monitor and view noise exposure data, including noise peaks, patterns, and unusual occurrences, on their smartphone or mobile computer using the Honeywell VeriShield mobile app.

Read MoreThe main idea behind this research involves combining wireless IoT networks with noise cancellation. A microphone is placed in the environment that senses sounds and sends them over wireless signals to an earpiece. Since wireless signals travel a million times faster than sound, the earphone can receive the sound information much faster than the actual sound itself.
